Hair trends, Isla Fisher and satin pillowcases

Are there any fun hair trends that you are excited about trying out on yourself or suggesting to clients?

'I love that strawberry blondes and redheads are so in right now.  Most people can look amazing with a warmer shade, it just needs to be the right one to flatter their skin tone and perk up their eye color.  I notice many more models and celebs going red and I love love love it.  Fair skin with light eyes looks great with soft golden copper shades, similar to Isla Fisher's.

Medium skin tones with light or dark eyes look great in deeper copper auburn shades, like Kate Walsh. 

Dark skin tone and dark eyes are most flattered with cool reds, like a dark cherry or mahogany.'  

Do you recommend sticking to just one shampoo/conditioner combo? Or do you have several in your shower?

‘If you color your hair, I recommend using the Phytocitrus shampoo and mask right after color and then weekly to maintain vibrancy.  It keeps the cuticle closed so your color won't fade nearly as fast and you will have SHINE!! 
The most important thing is to use what is made for your hair and scalp type.  Most hairstylists know the ingredients of their line of choice very well which can be extremely helpful in getting the perfect cocktail of products.  Don't use anything full of plastics and sulfates, they are not good for anything.’

Before bed beauty ritual?

‘Satin pillowcases are really good for your hair and skin!! Sleep in deep conditioner if your hair is very dry or porous and shampoo it out in the morning, it will look and feel amazing.  (I like Born Again Mask by Kevin Murphy)’

You recently spent some time in Paris learning a new technique, could you tell us about that?

‘Studying the balayage techniques by the salon that created it was really wonderful. It gave me the fine tuning I needed to be able to create color that grows out well, rather than just creating color that looks great the first 5 weeks.  That is a difference I take pride in.’
